Japanese companies advance well-being management and capital efficiency tools

Japanese companies are increasingly adopting well-being management practices to support employees facing serious illnesses, such as cancer. As medical advancements allow patients to continue working, companies like Fujitsu are implementing flexible work arrangements, including hourly paid leave and telework. Olympus has established a network with over 100 medical institutions to provide consistent support, while Itochu Corporation has partnered with the National Cancer Center to create a system covering prevention, treatment, and return to work.

In the realm of financial management, the platform Diggle has released a new feature to automate the calculation of ROE and ROIC. This update aims to help companies meet Tokyo Stock Exchange requirements regarding capital efficiency. The tool allows for integrated simulations of profit and loss, balance sheets, and cash flows, enabling detailed analysis down to the business unit level to support data-driven decision-making.
